I can not write a villanelle for fear or want of time I sit upon my writers place, and let my tormented mind roam My Mind is plagued and lacks resolve, and worse a lack of rhyme Too much of late has happened here, with visions wandering finds Discontent abounds around this traditionally peaceful home I can not write a villanelle for fear or want of time I still myself in calm repose in hopes of muse to find Perhaps some inspiration from the classics, theme to loan My Mind is plagued and lacks resolve, and worse a lack of rhyme Feeling this way for very long, for writers is a crime Yet here again I find myself, distracted I am prone I can not write a villanelle for fear or want of time Late to complete this simple task, twill be a lemon or a lime. And at that thought, in simple jest, I find I soundly groan My Mind is plagued and lacks resolve, and worse a lack of rhyme Through lots of lines in instance here, many are jest and mime With intent lost, and lack of theme the ideas slowly roam I can not write a villanelle for fear or want of time My Mind is plagued and lacks resolve, and worse a lack of rhyme |

"cannot write a villanelle", hah! Looks like you have done just that. Nice job and I have to strongly agree with the sentiment too. Thanks, Pete |

Hi Casidy! Weren't villanelles your idea? Bet you don't realize that your idea was as good as your villanelle. Loved the theme. I think that you captured the writing struggles that we all feel. Enjoyed the rite of write expressed so right. Shenachie |

I heard a rumor that Casidy can't write a villanelle - Must be a different Casidy, eh? With but a slight deviation in meter here and there, this great peace develops a nice theme with a format well intact. I enjoyed reading it immensely, m'friend - Glad you took the time to stop in this month..  |
